Re-echo which pushes me down into bed soft satin pillow Sounds that haunt the ear images run in waves Terrible thirst feeling that the tongue is sticky to the palate forced to drink contaminated water in the crystal well trying to forgo the smells loathe it… fills the stomach with pain fear of illness and death On a stone tablet my name is embroidered with cobweb threads 03.10.2022 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved

Fatigue and fear of death so powerfully illustrated by your poem and the image of labyrinthine entanglements! Excellent penning, dear Smile.

Very deep verse my friend. You almost describe all the symptoms I have. After the tumor removal left me a different person. Blessings my friend... I am going to try to get back to working on the next book.

Your dark experience in the Poem is felt in each word. The bad water, the dry mouth, the inability to sleep because of. Well written and conveyed Anne-Lise. Thanks for sharing my Poet friend...
